Ask HN: Email Client
I'm looking for an email client for my mac.
I find outlook to be too bloated, here are my requirements:
1) Multiple email address support (outlook and gmail accounts), ideally can show all inboxes in one place
2) Calendar
3) Sensible shortcuts - I'm considering learning/slowly dipping in and out of vim so would be open to similar shortcuts
4) Optional: Suggests events based of a message. If someone says lets make a meeting at 14:00-15:00 1/6/25 , I don't want it to hyperlink a phone number that is +14001500162025, I want to click once to make the meeting.
I'd rather stick with a client that will last the test of time that I really learn, than a new start up client. I really got into Arc Browser but now there aren't any more updates other than security.
I don't even use email a lot, I'm just a regular student, but find that I want to use outlook less each time I use it

> Assist is an experiment, developed in partnership with Flower AI, a flexible open-source framework for scalable, privacy-preserving federated learning, that will enable users to take advantage of AI features. The hope is that processing can be done on devices that can support the models, and for devices that are not powerful enough to run the language models locally, we are making use of Flower Confidential Remote Compute in order to ensure private remote processing (very similar to Apple’s Private Cloud Compute).
